Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces canned sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Coating
- ½ cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt Ingredients: Using a double boiler method, gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract together. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Chill Mixture: Transfer the chocolate mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for one hour until it firms up slightly and is easier to shape.
- Form Truffles: Use a two-teaspoon measuring scoop to portion out the chilled chocolate mixture evenly. Roll each portion into a smooth ball with your hands.
- Coat Truffles: Roll each chocolate ball in the ½ cup of sprinkles, covering all sides for a festive appearance and added texture.
- Set Truffles: Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate again for one hour to allow them to fully set and develop a firm but creamy texture.
Notes
- Using a double boiler prevents the chocolate from burning and ensures smooth melting.
- Measure truffles consistently with a scoop for uniform size and cooking time.
- Change sprinkles to crushed nuts or cocoa powder for variety.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
